9. The Holocaust Never Happened

Despite the massive amount of documentation via photographs, films, first-hand accounts, and written documents, there is a population of people who do not believe that the mass extermination of six million Jewish people did not occur. They do not believe that the German Nazis committed the atrocities associated with the Holocaust. Believers think that Hitler did not send millions to massive concentration camps to exterminate them using gas chambers and other gruesome methods, but simply deported them. They also claim that the accepted figure of five to six million is extremely exaggerated and that the actual number is about a tenth of that. The theories stem from the Nazis attempts during World War Two to cover their tracks. When defeat became imminent, Nazi leaders instructed their subordinates to cover up all traces that a mass extermination occurred. Records were destroyed and secrets were made to be kept.

8. The Cure For Cancer Exists

One of the most heartbreaking conspiracy theories out there is that the FDA and Big Pharma are withholding the cure for cancer. This would be a horrible secret to keep, given that a little less than 600,000 people die from cancer every year in the United States. Believers of the theory maintain that the cure has not been released because the Big Pharma companies are making too much money on the current treatments for cancer that the cure would lose them money. There is no evidence that the theory is correct. For the cure to be withheld, that would mean that even those who know about it would have to keep it from their loved ones who have cancer. Eventually, if the cure did exist, someone would have slipped up and revealed the truth. It also makes sense that selling the cure would make the Big Pharma companies more money than withholding it.

7. Secret Group Controlling The World

Historically, the name Illuminati refers to a secret society called the Bavarian Illuminati that was founded in 1776. This Enlightenment-era group began with the goals to oppose religious influence over public life and abuses of power. Many conspiracy theorists and writers like Mark Dice have argued that the group still exists today. The Illuminati is said to control and manipulate all major world events in the hopes of creating a New World Order. Celebrities like Beyonce and past American Presidents like Barack Obama have been accused of being members of the secret organization. While websites like Reddit and 4chan have compiled what users believe to be “evidence,” there is no substantial proof that major world events are being orchestrated by a small group of individuals. For now, Jay Z holding his hands up in the shape of a triangle or the Eye of Providence symbol on the dollar bill have no true significance.
